Summary

Star Center Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 339 students in the Lake Geneva J1 School District in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, a lakeside community in the southeastern part of the state. Statewide, it ranks 320th of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 69th percentile, 3 stars — which places it solidly above average but below its own historical peak of the 88th percentile in 2020–2021. After falling to the 53rd percentile in 2024–2025, the school rebounded this year, though it has not yet returned to its earlier top-tier results.

In 2025–2026, Star Center scored above the state average in all eight reported assessments, averaging about 63.9% compared with about 54.8% statewide. Results within its own district are more mixed: the school leads in 3rd grade ELA, 5th grade ELA, and 3rd grade math, but trails district averages in 4th grade ELA, math, social studies, and science. The largest gap is 4th grade math, at 56.25 versus 67.52 districtwide, making 4th grade the clearest relative weak spot. Eastview Elementary, which serves grades 4–5 in the same district and ranks at the 80th percentile with 4 stars, also outperforms Star Center in most grade 4 and 5 subjects except 5th grade ELA, where Star Center is higher.

Chronic absenteeism is a standout strength: 5.2% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 17.3% and down from 19.1% in 2021–2022. Per-student spending is $15,914, and the student–teacher ratio of 11.5 is favorable compared with many nearby schools. Among neighbors, Star Center ranks below Reek Elementary, Woods Elementary, and Randall Consolidated School, but above Wheatland Center Elementary, Lakewood Elementary, Traver Elementary, and both Brookwood Middle and Brookwood Elementary. Its effectiveness rankings for individual student groups are unusually uneven, with some groups ranking far above the school's overall standing and others ranking lower.
